What do slow or forgotten replies to enquiries cost you?

Enter your numbers and see straight away how much revenue and gross profit may be slipping away each month on enquiries that got no reply within 24 hours or no follow-up after the quote. The formula is visible and you set the assumptions.

Your numbers

A model, not a promise

The default values are just an example, not a market average. Replace them with your own numbers.

Lost revenue per month

€1,000

per year €12,000 · gross profit €400 / month

How it is calculated

  1. 40 × 25 % = 10 enquiries at risk
  2. 10 × 20 % × 50 % = 1 lost deals
  3. 1 × €1,000 = €1,000 revenue
  4. €1,000 × 40 % = €400 gross profit

For comparison: the Core plan costs €79 per month excl. VAT. It is covered by the gross profit of 0.2 deals per month.

You get your calculation and a short 3-step plan to reduce the loss (acknowledgement, quote, follow-up) — templates included.

How to cut the loss in 3 steps

None of this needs new software — just a rule and discipline. An assistant helps you keep that discipline.

  1. 1. Acknowledge within an hour

    Every enquiry gets an acknowledgement within an hour during business hours, with a named person and a quote deadline.

  2. 2. A quote with a next step

    Record a next-step date for every quote and propose a specific call time in the cover email.

  3. 3. A 3-step follow-up

    A reminder after 2–3 business days, a week later with options, and a polite close after 2 weeks.

Calculator questions

Where do the default numbers come from?

The defaults are only an example so the calculator shows something. They are not a market average or our measurement. Replace them with your own numbers — the result updates instantly.

Why do I enter “how much lower the chance is”?

A late or forgotten enquiry is not necessarily lost, but the chance of winning it is usually lower. You know best how much from your own experience. Enter 0% if you think reply speed makes no difference for you — the result will then be zero.

How do I find the share of enquiries without a reply within 24 hours?

Look through last month in your mailbox or CRM: how many enquiries got their first reply after more than 24 hours, and how many quotes have no reminder at all. An estimate to within 5 percentage points is enough.

What should I do with the result?
